The U.S.-China Political Party Leaders Dialogue was launched in 2010. Until now, 11 sessions of this dialogue have been held to strengthen Sino-US party-to-party communication and promote the development of relations between the two countries.
This time, we had in-depth and candid dialogues on topics related to "the new development of the Chinese and U.S. political parties and the future strategic trends of the two countries" and "the respective diplomatic concepts of China and the United States and the future trend of China-US relations".
Wang Dong was invited to speak at the luncheon and the story-sharing session of "40 Years of Sino-US Relations and Me". He shared his experience of studying in the United States, teaching in American universities, and returning to teach in China. In addition, Wang Dong also shared Peking University's ongoing efforts to promote cultural exchanges between China and the United States, as in the example of the Samuel R. "Sandy"Berger Memorial Fellowship.
Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger Memorial Fellowship was entrusted by the Berger family to donate to the Peking University Foundation (U.S.) from the U.S. Sino-US Education Exchange Fund. This fellowship scholarship program was established at Peking University to commemorate the well-known national activist and former U.S. President Clinton National Security Advisor Mr. Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger. It is used to commend outstanding young people from China and the United States who are interested in promoting Sino-US cooperation and friendship.
